What is an interrupt?

Answer Posted / pratik

interrupt is a process when the an external device can use
the micro-processor. it is an asynchronous signal and it is
considered as an emergency signal.Whenever the
microprocessor receives an interrupt signal, it stops
executing its current program and jumps into the interrupt
service routine(ISR). there can be more than one "source"
for the interrupt signal and each source has its own ISR
